Speaking of Carey's birth a decade ago, mum Catherine Hutson said: "I had no idea I was expecting. I was returning home to Bristol with my family after a weekend in Dublin city celebrating my father-in-law’s 70 birthday, I felt very unwell and to my complete surprise I proceeded to give birth to a baby girl in the cubicle on my own.

“My mother-in-law came looking for me and gave me her coat to wrap around Carey, she then called for help from airport staff. I really want to thank the airport’s emergency services for looking after us so well and getting us to the hospital quickly.”

Carey after she was born

Carey was treated to a special cake from the team at Dublin Airport for her return to the terminal, along with a voucher to spend in The Loop on her return home to Bristol.

Ciaran Foster, Dublin Airport fire officer, was part of the team that assisted with the birth.

“We see most of life’s events happening at the airport, as people are travelling for a variety of happy and sad occasion, but this was our first birth at the airport and that was a very special event.”
